Karriem Riggins - A Bigger Picture Called Free lyrics

[Verse 1: Common] Living in a gla** bubble, the fast hustle The masked struggle that I'm in, the same one that you in I knew inside when I was outside on the south side Had to take it a step further the way that Ralph tried Oh that's my stepfather He stressed harder to make that bed and lock them doors For the perfect picture, I forgot to pose Used to rock Jabos and go out with bros Tryna get lots of hoes till I got exposed To a bigger picture called free, in the picture, it was me Al-Hajj Malik Shabazz, Muhammad, and Noble Drew Ali A side of Erykah Badu and Andre 3000 Telling me what I can't be But you can't paint me Black is the color of my true love spirit and I do love lyrics And I used to love Harold's Chicken and I dance pretty good And I feel at home in the hood and I get lit in the club Still I love [Hook: Syd Tha Kyd] If you look in my eyes, you'll see love deep inside When I look in the sky, I see freedom If you look in my eyes, you'll see love deep inside When I look in the sky, I see freedom [Verse 2: Common] If you hear this rhyme, it's coming from division 9 The toughest in Cook County They count me out cause I did a crime They say it's violent time in human beings But being they ain't seeing me as human In this big business called prison, I'm the one that's consuming Illuminati illuminate me, fume and hate me Mutilate me from my family, society, and loved ones I wasn't raised to love guns, well maybe toy ones My pops, y'all built and destroyed him With prescriptions of poverty, dope, and unemployment When will we see enjoyment? I smile when my little boy get to visit for about 30 minutes But we ain't never spent Christmas together, tryna get it together What I'ma do when I get out? I don't know what it is to live out Just reminiscing of the big house, I'm the one justice chose to spit out My life story is written in a prison sentence Wonder if this cell got room for forgiveness? Still I love [Hook: Syd Tha Kyd] If you look in my eyes, you'll see love deep inside When I look in the sky, I see freedom If you look in my eyes, you'll see love deep inside When I look in the sky, I see freedom [Outro: Bilal] It's gonna be you and me When you're feeling free make you feel alive What you got inside make you go outside The change in I, it's the realest high It's the realest high Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, oh-yeah It's gonna be you and me When you're feeling free make you feel alive What you got inside make you go outside The change in I, it's the realest high It's the realest high Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, oh-yeah It's gonna be you and me When you're feeling free, make you feel alive What you got inside make you go outside The change in I, it's the realest high It's the realest high Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, oh-yeah It's gonna be you and me When you're feeling free, make you feel alive What you got inside make you go outside The change in I, it's the realest high It's the realest high Yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah, oh-yeah
